dream studio

been thinking more and more about changing up my work space.  it's feeling clunky and cavernous and less than inspiring. if only i could snap my fingers and have this dreamy dream studio.  or maybe i just need to move to sweden? that elizabeth is one lucky lady.

here.

yes.

this is my new mantra these days, and ashley g has summed it up nicely with this print.
ashley is good at drawing and painting and printing things. this print of hers was one of the first pieces i bought for my house when i moved in almost exactly three years ago, and i love it to this day. i've also been enjoying seeing her house come together on her lovely blog, here. thanks for the reminder, ashley!

i wanna be a quilter

thinking about fall projects, and have decided that it's finally time to take the plunge and start making a quilt. something i've always wanted to try, but have never quite had the wherewithal to tackle.
the world of quilt making is infinitely fascinating to me. and i am constantly blown away by the amount of skill, artistry, and love that goes into producing a quilt, no matter how seemingly simple.
my pal michelle reminded me about the quilts of gees bend the other day and i am now obsessed. stunning. amazing. truly breathtaking work. these are only a handful of my favorites. they are all so fucking incredible.
